Hi,
The symptoms you are suffering looks like severe allergic reaction most probably from taking Lasix. You should immediately stop taking it. Go to ER for Epinephrine and Prednisone injections. They will probably do you another type of diuretic to get rid of the excess of fluid in your body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
